Total Eclipse: Changes!!!

I was at work when the eclipse was happening. I had a link online and watched as TOTALITY occurred in different cities: starting in Oregon and ending in Charleston, SC. I was to wait for confirmation from the Lord before I could share the message He poured into my heart during that time. Confirmation I was given is here if you would like to read it.

During the time of the eclipse, the powerful presence of Holy Spirit covered me. If you have ever felt the anointing and presence of Holy Spirit, you will know what I mean. At that time, all I was allowed to share [with my BFF Divine only - no one else] was "Tammie, the Holy Spirit is all over me! This is a warning! We are worshiping the creation and not the Creator. God is not pleased!" 

This is what God spoke to me during that time:

"This eclipse is a warning. It is a HARBINGER! They worship creation and not the Creator! There are many things that will come upon this land. I have called them and called them, asked and asked, been lenient time and again. No longer! The blood of the innocent calls out to me. They are a wicked, selfish, unrepentant people with evil in their hearts continually. Do not think it strange what you will see happening: they have sown the wind now they will reap the whirlwind. I command all creation: rest assured, disaster upon disaster will rise up across this place. I AM removing my protective cover from the United States this day!"

[Since that day, God has given me more things to say. He encourages me not to be fearful but to be BOLD.]
Continue to tell them, my daughter, all that I give you to speak. Do not fear them. Do not worry. I know you Love Me, first and foremost, above and before anyone or anything else.
I have been obedient -- check out the blogs He gave me since 8/21/17:
8/22/2017     The Unpardonable Sin ...
8/25/2017     Do Not Disrespect Others ...
8/28/2017     Are You Sure ...

Many things have happened since the eclipse on 8/21/2017: the biggest being Harvey! I pray that Holy Spirit convicts each of you that He brings here to read this blog. That you would be led to repent and ask forgiveness, for whatever you are shown. If something happened that concerns me, I forgive you, as Father has taught me. I do not want to be rebellious so that a root of bitterness could  rise up in my heart. 

1 Peter 1:16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

Boldly Speaking What God Has Given

... I will follow my Master's leading. I will listen to no other, as I know HIS voice! I do not fear man or ridicule: I will continue to seek the Lord's counsel and strive to walk with Him, each step as He directs me, daily!

God has graciously supplied wisdom in what I am to share here: "our thoughts are not His thoughts, our ways are not His ways [Isaiah 55:8-9 KJV]" ... you should humbly ask Him for His wisdom and be prepared to 'put a hand over your mouth' when He replies [Job 40 KJV].

Can Salvation Be Lost (link)

 "We are not taking about salvation by works here, nor are we abusing the precious Grace of God. The devil has a plan to knock you and your salvation out. If you don’t watch yourself, you will fall into his trap. It is not by works you are saved, but you better be ready that you don’t go back to your old sinful ways. You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it. (Matt 7) Well who can get in????? “And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible” Mark 10, Matthew 19
Why did Paul bother to keep returning to people to get them back on the right path?
Why did the Lord end the bible with these warnings: Wake up! Come back to you first Love! Turn from your indifference! You tolerate wrong teaching! Repent!"

If we are always saved, once saved, what’s the point of the bible’s warnings?

The following is a prayer from the link above. I will pray it as I am called as an intercessor/prayer warrior. You can pray it as well, God inhabits the Praises of His People. Our Prayers are a Sweet Fragrance in Heaven:

Dear Lord,
I pray for those suffering through this, may you restore them Lord. Break the binds that have held them down, release the captives and set them free. Protect them from all evil and give them wisdom and understanding. Give them a new heart and renew a right spirit within them. Give them a desire to seek you and love you above all things. Release the prisoners and those who are about to perish. Restore the lost and help us gather them back in. Save us, restore our sight so we can see. Make the path ahead plain for us and bring those who have fallen away -back into your everlasting arms. In Jesus name, we pray, Amen

The Lord has provided the information here. I strongly recommend that you click on the link and see what God tells you. Yes, He DOES still speak today! To those who sit and wait on Him ... He gives Wisdom liberally when we ask!

Maranatha,
Anna

Are You Sure ...

Beyond a shadow of a doubt, you are Saved? 

”It is astonishing how people talk about perseverance. As if the doctrine of perseverance were: ‘Once in grace, always in grace’; or , ‘Once converted, sure to go to heaven.’ This is not the idea of perseverance. The true idea is, that if a man is truly converted, he will, as a rule, continue to obey God; and, as a consequence, he will surely go to heaven. But if a person gets the idea that because he is ‘converted,’ therefore he will assuredly go to heaven, that man will almost assuredly go to hell.” //Charles G. Finney

Before their sin in Exodus many Israelites were born again (Dt 32:18, Gal 4:28-29), they were redeemed (Ex 15:13, Dt 21:8), they were sanctified (Ex 31:13, Dt 21:8), they were converted (Ps 19:7), they were in grace (Ex 33:12-17, Ps 19:7, Ps 84:11), had their names in the book of life (Ex 32:32-33, Ps 69:25-29), had the same gospel we have (Gal 3:6-14, Heb 4:2), yet when they sinned the were cut off from God and were lost (Ex 32:32-33, 1 Cor 10:1-18, Heb 4:1-7, Jude 1:5).  (Thanks to Britt Williams)

What Does the Bible Say About Salvation? FAQ

When we sin, we can expect that our loving Heavenly Father will not let us get away with it. Because He loves us, He desires us to live holy lives (1 Peter 1:15-16; Romans 8:29). If someone professes to know Christ but is living a lifestyle of unrepentant sin and claims to “feel fine about it,” with no qualms, then that person is not a legitimate child of God (Revelation 3:19; Hebrews 12:5-11; Job 5:17; Psalm 94:12; I John 3:4-12). God “punishes everyone he accepts as a son” (Hebrews 12:6). Reference

Do Not Disrespect Others ...

To disrespect someone is to disrespect God. It does not please God when we disrespect his creation. We are created in God's image. We are in the wrong when we call people names or labels and use words that ultimately hurt them. 

2 Kings 2:23-24
He went up from there to Bethel, and while he was going up on the way, some small boys came out of the city and jeered at him, saying, “Go up, you baldhead! Go up, you baldhead!” And he turned around, and when he saw them, he cursed them in the name of the Lord. And two she-bears came out of the woods and tore forty-two of the boys.
Ephesians 4:29
Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.
Ephesians 5:4
Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving.

Sadly, many times 'humor' is a tool to malign someone. How can you know if you are disrespecting someone? Do your words build someone up or tear them down? 

Some Examples of tearing down:

Do your words encourage / highlight / support the 'You ain't from around here, are ya?" mentality?

Rather than calling attention to differences, God is pleased when we build up / edify others. Not tear them down by saying things that promote isolation / non-acceptance.

Have you heard someone joke about people who are 'bipolar' ...  that they should just let go of one pole? How disrespectful to make light of this condition!!!

Have you ever taken a serious medical condition, proceeded to trivialize it and (in a joking tone - so that makes it okay - right?), then proceeded to say you could call the person experiencing these medical symptoms a 'dizzy blonde'?

Humor has no place when dealing with medical issues. 

Instead of feeling valued, the person, who is the butt of the joke, instead feels isolated and disparaged.

Ministry in song to show us the importance of words and to lift our thoughts and inspire us to pure words lifting up others:

If your first reaction to this post is 'the person that was hurt has a problem, not me': Please meditate on your words and actions. Are they Positive? Prone to being Negative? What can you do to make a change for the good?

The Unpardonable Sin ...

something so grave that it will not be forgiven, either in the present age or in the next one, even though God is normally eager to forgive. 

Matthew 12:31-32 (kjv)
31  Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.
32  And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

So what about blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is unforgivable? For me to even begin to answer this, you need to understand what the Holy Spirit does. Then you will be able to see why blasphemy against Him is so serious a sin that it cannot be forgiven, neither in this life nor in the next.

The Holy Spirit does three things:

[John 14:26] He teaches us the things we need to know for our salvation.

[John 16:13] He guides us into all truth.

[John 16:7-8] His mission is to convict of sin.

As long as we allow Holy Spirit to teach us, guide us, and convict us: we could never commit the unpardonable sin.  If, however, we refuse to acknowledge these three areas of ministry of Holy Spirit: that is when people begin to step closer to the deadly parameters of the worst sin there is.

If you constantly resist the draw of the Holy Spirit until you don't hear His voice anymore; that is Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. Your conscience is seared (1 Timothy 4:2). This is also called 'grieving away' the Holy Spirit. Ephesians 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Eventually, you lose the capacity to repent. If you cannot repent, you cannot be forgiven, because you have rejected the Spirit that convicts of sin [John 16:8].

If you still feel conviction and have a desire to repent of sin, then you have probably not committed the unpardonable sin.

Anna
